Default Stock or 3 inch lift???

I have a 01 Jeep Cherokee Sport. The rear springs were sagging, so I added a 3 inch block. Since then, I blew a yoke, driveshaft and two U-joints on two different occasions.

I wanted to do a 3 inch lift for the look, any pointers on what else might be needed to be changed when I do a 3 inch lift? I want to keep stock tires and plan on getting a new shaft. I'm only doing three cause I'm 6'4 and hate low cars, but need it low enough for kids to crawl into it.

If you did a 3 inch lift, name things you had to replace. I'm getting all new springs, components and shocks. Thanks to Hackensack Spring in NJ. Also a list of shops in the northern NJ area.

Part list:
High arch left springs
U bolts
Shackles
Shocks
Driveshaft

Suggestion list:

Thanks. Seems like I can't edit the post, either.
